Malicious software, sometimes known as malware, is software designed to harm a computer, network, or any of the connected resources. Without the user's knowledge, malware can spread throughout their computer system. Malware is typically disseminated via online connections and mobile devices. While malware has always been a problem in the digital age, its effects have gotten increasingly serious. Traditional malware detection methods seek to locate specific malware samples and families to recognize harmful codes and can be located using traditional signature- and rule-based detection methods. The research focuses on developing malware detectors using data mining techniques. The proposed method outlined below sets itself apart by emphasizing the processing of malware behaviors significantly dependent on aspects. Finding more dependable intelligent detecting techniques is a crucial component of this paper. In order to identify the cluster of the most essential malware features and use decision tree classifiers for malware detection, the study, a common methodology for creating malware detectors based on data mining, is implemented and investigated. Our approach can identify the most significant features of malware that can significantly determine and detect a malware code.
